Scattered

My mind is racing while my heart wants to find its way back into bed and pull up the covers. Both desire a strong shoulder to lean against and to be held by warm arms. I need to cry. It is just that need to let it all go – all the pressure of the Nutcracker, the frustration with the parents, the fear for my daughter and her dental health, and then the love I feel for her and my pride in all that she did this past weekend.

I am feeling overwhelmed emotionally and mentally.

It is one of those few times I crave help and know that it is hard to find.

It is one of those rare times when I need someone to lift the world from my shoulders; hold my hand, and say… “it’s okay” – Just to know that I am not alone…

I can totally relate! I sometimes feel exactly like you described. It's tough being a single parent, disconnected from intimacy, bearing all the responsibility of running a household solo. You are in my thoughts. I'll give you a virtual hug.
